how many batteries can i get away with???

[pcchris]

ok i have $1300 right now

im trying to feed 4 amps that total out to 10,400 watts

if i get 3 iraggi 220 alts could i get away with 1-2 hc2400 batteries?

or would i be better off with 1x 300amp alt and 4 batteries???

the bracket is out of my budget id get 3 alts 4 batts if the bracket wasnt so expensive :-/

do i really need a 300amp alt or could i get away with 1x 260 amp alt and 4 batts

tryna go cheap but i know its better to do it right the first time

this is the last stuff i need before i can start building___

What vehicle is this? I think more batts first. I would also look for the alternator that gets you the highest idling output, simply because I hate to rev the engine.
